Accordingly, the heat transfer between the evaporator pipes and the inner environment of the cooling device is increased. In this type of cooling devices, wire-on-tube or roll- bond type of evaporators are used. After the evaporator is empkced within the body, it is attached into the inner body of the cooling device by various methods so that it is not displaced during usage. An evaporator retainer that is affixed to the evaporator and the side walls of the cooling device is used in order to attach the evaporator to the inner body of the cooling device. The evaporator retainer can be of various lengths depending on the width of the refrigerator and the thickness of the side walls of the body and each profile member having a different length has to be produced separately. For example, since the width of the evaporators that extend like shelves between the side walls of the cooling devices with different standard widths like 54 cm, 60 cm, or 70 cm and hence the length of the evaporator retainers that help in fastening the evaporators to the side walls have to be according to these standard widths, then a different evaporator retainers in length have to be used for each cooling device of different width which results in increasing the production costs.
